Boring and Honing

AMERICAN steel tubes are supplied with various degrees of inside surface finish ranging from "as-cast" to an 8 micro-inch honed surface. Our versatile honing equipment finishes tubes with inside diameters ranging from 3" to 66" and lengths up to 50 feet.

Whether your requirements include short or long lengths, our several machines can economically handle your needs.

AMERICAN hones produce a "cross-hatch pattern" as shown in the photograph. Many hydraulic cylinder makers and users consider this an advantage as it assists in the continued lubrication of the packing.

Other finer ID finishes are also available.
